Roundhouse RTR 4-4-0 It only knows how to take off and run at 30 mph with 5 pax cars. It does not switch well and sometimes trips on a switch frog. It's a keeper but I wont be buying any more of that crappy MRC stuff.BLI2-8-2 first run Heavy Mike Onery critter going through it's third annual oil/lube/filter. It is facing a left side rod or gear tower bind that is giving it a waddle.2-10-4 J1 Class PRR A queen who cannot abide 24" radius track. It needs to be fed 32" to run well. The thing looms over the coaling tower making it look puny. I actually had to ditch that old AHM tower because the frigging tender is BIGGER than it. Ditto for the Duplex.PRR Duplex 4-4-4-4 T1 Woe onto the Track that has a flaw in it. Either that or I need new glasses. Maybe that is what the problem is. The roundhouse I own cannot contain this rammer who only wants to take 100 cars to 120+ mph. None of that 20 mph stuff. I have to weigh it down with 12 Heavyweight pullmans and a hatful of head end cars to beat it down to a compliant engine.Sadly it sits in a box waiting for the day I take it to the club. The home Im in is just too small for this engine. But I LOVE it! LOL.Reading PCM T1 4-8-4 Workhorse. Reliable and a favorite. Maybe two will be good now that prices have come down.QSI Proto 2-10-2 heavy Smooth operator. None of my engines in the past or in the future will ever start moving on one "Click" of my DT400 throttle.QSI Proto Y3 2-8-8-2 Light on pulling, good for helper service which really is too bad for such a nice engine. But it's good manners allow it to be a keeper.BLI M1a 4-8-2 Wheels run off, pulls like a draft horse uphill. It aint happy going downhill. Figure that one out.I had a bunch of others but they got resold on Ebay to good homes. I know I forgot an engine or two somewhere in the stack of boxes.I have about 3 more steamers planned plus two desiel orders pending for the next 24 months. Some of which I have waited on since they were announced TWO FREAKING YEARS AGO.
